Cramps Hurt Like Nobody's Business

[Sarcastic Cupcake]

So I just got my first period a few days ago, and ever since then, I've had awful cramps. I know that painkillers are supposed to help, but my family uses homeopathic medicine rather than over-the-counter stuff. So my question is, are there any ways of lessening cramps that don't involve painkillers or other drugs?

My friend told me that dark chocolate is supposed to help and it relaxes the muscles, also a hot water bottle may help

-massage your abdomen and sides and then put a warm towel over
-stay hydrated
-don't eat to many salty foods
-light exercise/stretching

Sarcastic Cupcake, wishing you the best! hopefully the cramps will subside after the first few days.
